Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>New snow, relatively un-affected by wind. Soft but cohesive storm slab over weak surface facets.</p> <p>Plenty of weak snow with a variety of faceted layers, depth hoar, and areas where the whole pack is facets. Buried persistent slabs remain, and new snow will soon become part of persistent slab problem with these weaknesses.</p>
